This blog may at times appear to be rather cynical, sometimes comical (hence the pen name Gun Shy Tourist), and often critical in its evaluation and reporting. It may also include my musings on "criminal" politicians, religious fanatics who seek to change the American way of life, as well as personal self defense, weaponry, and other firearms and military related topics. The readers should be warned that this blog does not follow the politically correct narrative.

So Why Isn't THIS All Over the Mainstream Media??

Maybe Al Sharpton is right. There isn't equal justice in America, at least when it comes to media outrage, especially when it doesn't fit the narrative.

Four south Cobb teenagers are in custody in connection with the beating death of a 36-year-old Mableton man on Mableton Parkway early Sunday morning.

Jekari Oshay Strozier, 19; Antonio Shantwan Pass, 18; and Johnathan Donald Anthony, 18; all from Mableton, are in the Cobb County jail without bonds on charges of felony murder, aggravated assault and violation of the Georgia Street Gang Act.

The fourth suspect, 18-year-old Kemonta Bonds of Mableton, turned himself in to police Tuesday afternoon.

They have been accused in the beating death of Joshua Heath Chellew, 36, of Mableton and all but Bonds were arrested Monday afternoon by Cobb County investigators.

According to the warrant, the four teenagers are accused of starting a fight with Chellew at a Chevron gas station in the 6200 block of Mableton Parkway near Community Drive at about 1:20 a.m. Sunday. They repeatedly punched and kicked him, according to police.

While attempting to escape, Chellew backed into the center five-lane highway and was pushed to the ground and knocked unconscious, the warrant states.

They then walked away from Chellew, “leaving him helpless,” and he was eventually hit by a car, the warrant states.

The readers will note that the four youths involved in this incident were roughly the age of Trayvon Martin, and the attack appears to be unprovoked. Where is the media outrage now? It has been eleven days since this attack, and not a peep from the mainstream media. Hypocrites.
